[quote=Anonymous]I thought my 15-month had no words (aside from "uh-oh" which she did use properly when she dropped stuff) so I started trying to get her to mimic/work on receptive language through naming body parts and it took her a few hours to learn to point at her nose when I said nose and about two days of this to say nose herself.  She's still (at 17 months) not really interested in talking per se, but knows a couple body parts, a couple shapes, has specific words she uses for certain animals, and says "ball" and "row" (sing row row row your boat, mum!) consistently without prompting.

I didn't schedule intervention at 15 months (because I called my mother and she said none of us talked much until 2) and while my household is English-dominant, we do have a second language which does delay speech a bit.  That being said, if I hadn't seen improvement I would have scheduled something at 18 months and if you're concerned it certainly can't hurt!

Good luck, OP!  I know this kind of thing is stressful.[/quote]
